your work must address the following:
I.
Hominin Evolution
A. Identify
prominent hominin fossils that represent the trajectory of human evolution across time and geographic space, justifying your recommendations. To provide a sufficient representation, you will need to recommend multiple fossils.
B. Analyze the fossils you recommended for their value in understanding
human biological evolution, substantiating your analysis with research. In other words, what insight do these extinct species provide us when trying to understand human evolution? How do these species represent some of the major trends in human evolution?
C. Analyze the fossils you recommended for their value in understanding
human biological variation, substantiating your analysis with research. In other words, how does variation within these fossil species reflect the type of biological variation we see in modern humans? Think about things like stature, body shape, body size, and skin color—all of which vary wildly in our species. Do we see similar patterns in your chosen fossils or not?
D. Explain how the museum staff can
ethically obtain and display these fossils. Consider questions such as these in your response: Where will they get the fossils? Will compensation be necessary? Can they use the real fossil, or would a cast replica be preferable? Are there any downsides to using a replica? What considerations are involved in deciding how to protect and display the specimen?
